The war that made George Washington the leader he was to become. This war is also considered the war that started the American revolution.

Great acting and loaded with details. This may almost be too much for the casualt lover of history, but it shows the personalities of John and Abigail well.

The first disc of this two-set disc details the war of 1812.

The bigget flaw is that this is hosted by Oscar de la Hoya, but all that aside, this documentary makes patriotic Americans think more critically of why we waged this war.

The relationship between these two courageous women, and others who helped them along, is presented here.

This one can not be passed up. The first disc alone summarizes the events between the US-Mexican War that led up to the Civil War. Historians, archived letters and old paintings all come to life through the eyes of Ken Burns

The first disc details his early life up through the Civil War. The second disc details his more lackluster reign as president.

This video shows how we entered the age of Imperialism.

The first time I watched this documentary I was blown away by this man. He was a troubled man, yet wrote some of the best works of our time (or at least at the turn of the century!)

Everything is presented here, both good and bad. Addicted to fame and power, he also was addicted to love from women.

A one-of-a-kind gentlemanly president who definitely had a tough side to him.

This is my husband's favorite WWII movie. He knows the dialogue by heart. The Sequel, "The Final Days of Patton" isn't quite so good, although the first hour of this sequel makes one wonder if we would have had the Cold War if President Eisenhower had listened to General Patton.

There is a reason people are watching this now that the man has passed on.

He appears so much greater now that he's out of the White House. Carter was beset with issues as soon as he took over from President Ford.

He was a better president than is given credit to.

Finally a video that shows the other side of history as seen through the hisotry of our Native Americans

The Irish on the east and the Chinese on the west worked long hours every day to meet somewhere in Utah. The United States wasn't to be the same until the interstate highways came along 100 years later.
